Phantoms Basketball
Phantoms Challenge Cup.
Saturday 5th June was the day of the first challenge cup for the Phantoms where the Phantoms would face the Shadows and the Lady Phantoms would face the Phantom Junior U.16 team.
Although the day was meant to be a fun day with the club getting together to play basketball there was an undertone of seriousness about the gym.
Nobody wanted to loose face.
The Juniors played the ladies first which started intensely and didn’t let up. the fast pace game was to stay that was till the dying seconds.
The ladies put up a valiant effort but the Juniors proved to be too quick.
Final score: 96 -47 Juniors
Next the Phantoms vs the Shadows.
This was to a chance for the Shadows to prove themselves, show they could compete with the Mens number 1 team.
Sadly on this day it wasn’t to be, the Phantoms came out strong not giving an inch, the lead gradually grew until there was no coming back.
The Shadows made a push in the 3rd quarter winning it by a few points but the phrase to little too late springs to mind.
Final score: 102-50 Phantoms
